The Consequence of Loving Colton by Rachel Van Dyken Review

By Amie Knight in 5 Smooches, Reviews

5 Smooches!

Synopsis

My name is Milo Caro and I have a confession to make.

I’ve been in love with Colton Mathews since I was five. He should have known that sharing a cookie with a sugar obsessed little monster would do the trick–it sealed his fate. So really, the fact that he’s sporting a black eye, a limp, almost got ran over by a car, and was nearly responsible for another person’s death? Right. HIs fault. Not mine.

I made a pact with myself–this weekend would be different. I’d come home for my brothers wedding, smile, and Colton would naturally melt into my arms, we’d get married have five kids, live in a house by the river, and get a dog named scratch (clearly I’ve thought this through).

What really happened? I punched my brother in the face, Colton kissed me and apologized, I lied about having a boyfriend, oh and everyone wants to meet the mystery man.

They say laughter always comes before insanity–ha, ha. All I wanted was my brother’s best friend…instead I’m sitting in prison.

Let this be a lesson to you all…life rarely happens the way you want it to.

Damn cookie.

Review

Lord Mercy, I do not think that there is a Rachel Van Dyken book out there that I would not totally love. My favorites are her in Ruined Series but ,goodness, this book was hilarious and funny and sexy in that understated way that Rachel is so notorious for!

OK, so get ready for this, because this book is a brothers best friend, firefighter, friends to lovers, comedy! That is right, folks! EEEEPP! When I saw the synopsis, I was like, duh, SOLD. Needless to say, The Consequence of Loving Colton ticked all of my boxes!

“I was the little sister he’d never had – and secretly, I’d always wanted to be much more.”

Milo has always loved Colton for more than just her brothers best friend, but every time she makes a play for him, he pushes her away. Colton has always loved Milo too and now that they are all grown up it is becoming harder and harder to ignore his feelings. He doesn’t want to ruin their friendship or his friendship with his brother.

I’d rather be on the receiving end of a black eye from you – than the receiving end of a kiss from another.”

Now Milo is a lady and her and Colton are being thrown together for her brother’s ridiculous and crazy wedding. This is when the absolute insanity and hilarity ensue. Oh my gosh, throw in a few lies, a fake fiance, and ping pong battles to the death and I literally could not help but giggle through the entirety of this book.

“No fouls in Ping-Pong, bitch,”

Rachel has done it again with a fun and funny romance that pulls at your heart strings. If you are looking for a fun read with low angst, but definitely enough drama to keep you interested that will make you laugh your butt off, then this book is definitely for you!

“Because the little boy who had slain all my dragons when I was little – had grown into a man.”

Asa by Jay Crownover Blog Tour with Excerpt and Giveaway

By Miranda Arnold in Reveals & Tours

About ASA:

Jay Crownover’s New York Times and USA Today bestselling Marked Men series continues with the much anticipated story of southern charmer and certified criminal Asa Cross.
Starting over in Denver with a whole new circle of friends and family, Asa Cross struggles with being the man he knows everyone wants him to be and the man he knows he really is. A leopard doesn’t it change its spots and Asa has always been a predator. He doesn’t want to hurt those who love and rely on him, especially one luscious arresting cop who suddenly seems to be interested in him for far more than his penchant for breaking the law. But letting go of old habits is hard, and it’s easy to hit bottom when it’s the place you know best.
Royal Hastings is quickly learning what the bottom looks like after a tragic situation at work threatens not only her career but her partner’s life. As a woman who has only ever had a few real friends she’s trying to muddle through her confusion and devastation all alone. Except she can’t stop thinking about the sexy southern bartender she locked up. Crushing on Asa is the last thing she needs but his allure is too strong to resist. His long criminal record can only hurt her already shaky career and chasing after a guy who has no respect for the law or himself can only end in heartbreak.
A longtime criminal and a cop together just seems so wrong . . . but for Asa and Royal, being wrong together is the only right choice to make.

Excerpt

“I like that even though Ayden and I don’t see eye to eye on everything, and even when she has really pissed me off, I’ve never not loved her. Even when I didn’t know how to love, when all I was doing was looking out for number one, I still loved her, and I like that I know how to do it right now. I like that I haven’t wasted the second chance I was given to be her big brother and ruined it … at least not yet.”

She made a whimpering sound where she was buried into the center of my chest and I felt her fingers curl into the base of my spine right above my ass.

“Have you ever told her that?”

I blinked a little as she pulled back and smoothed a hand over her long hair.

“No. But I’ve apologized to her more times than I can count.”

Her long lashes dipped down over her gaze as she stepped all the way out of my embrace. “When she comes to town next week, tell her that, Asa. Apologizing for what happened or what might happen is a waste of an opportunity to tell her that you like who you are for her now. That’s the moment you need to focus on with her.”

We stared at each other for a long, intense moment until she reached up and put a hand on each of my cheeks and pulled me down for a smacking kiss. “Now take me home and take me to bed.”

Thank fuck. That was something I could do without all the introspection and soul-scraping thought.

I kissed her back and put her hastily in the Nova so we could race back to her apartment on Capitol Hill. When I parked in front of the Victorian, it was a stroke to my ego that she seemed just as eager to get through the front door as I did. She threw her purse absently on the small table by the door and her keys hit the floor with a clatter as I shut the door behind us. She turned around to face me and I felt every predatory instinct I still harbored claw at me to pounce on her to make her submit and give me everything I wanted. I started to prowl toward her, and whatever she saw on my face must have startled her because she took a stumbling step back. Finally she was getting smart and running away from me. Too bad she had nowhere to go and was now trapped in a room with my raging desire and the raw, unsatisfied edge she had sharpened with her little game at the warehouse.

“I might not be able to pick out a whole lot of things that I like about myself, but I sure can pick out about a thousand things I like about you, Red.”

She kept backing up as I stalked toward her, her dark eyes wide in her face as her tongue darted out to slick across her bottom lip. “Is that so?”

A longtime criminal and a cop together just seems so wrong . . . but for Asa and Royal, being wrong together is the only right choice to make.

Review

“Accountability was a foreign thing, and back in the day I avoided it like I owed it money.”

He may not have been there from the start but Asa’s story has been a long time coming. If there was one character who we have seen a long term complete transformation it would be Asa Cross. I have loved every one of the Marked Men and for me one of the delights about them is that while they are all mostly off the beaten path they are all still “good” guys. The same cannot be said for Asa. While in present day Asa is trying hard to be a better man for his sister Ayden. The trouble is that Asa does not believe himself capable of being truly worthy and good.

“Despite my best intentions, this inferno that raged between us was going to burn out of control and she had just lit the match and tossed it carelessly on the tinder.”

Good girl and straight laced cop Royal is going through an identity crisis after an accident on the job caused her partner and best friend to get injured. Determined to live a little on the wild side to push all of her doubts and insecurities away, Royal this Asa is just the right amount of wild for her. Two people who cold not be more different, a thief and a cop, are so much more alike than they think and when they finally come together it is like a surge of electricity.

“It was obvious the path to every decadent sin led right through Asa Cross, and man oh man, did I want to race down it.”

Asa is one of those characters that has grown on us throughout the series. When we meet him in Jet I think we can all agree that we all hated the situations he put his sister in. When he came back in Rome and we saw him struggle to be a better person (even if at times he floundered) we all started to fall for the southern charmer.

“Asa was a beautiful man when he was wearing worn jeans and an old T-shirt; naked and angry, he looked like an ancient Greek god visiting amongst us mere humans.”

Both Royal and Asa are struggling with a supreme lack of confidence and while neither wants to admit it they need the other to help build them up. I loved Royal. The ladies of the Marked Men series are unlike no other. Sexy, sassy, witty and strong willed. They don’t give in easily and can look out for themselves. Tough as balls cop Royal is no different but admitting she wants someone else to be all those things with her is near impossible. She has hoped that a night with Asa would be a good distraction from the trouble and doubt that is following her around but she never expected it to come with so many more feelings and attachments.

“He kissed me like he wanted to tell me things with his lips and tongue that he couldn’t say with words.”

Jay Crownover has once again written a story I cannot put down and a man I would love to have in my bed. Asa was everything I wanted him to be and so much more. While I am sad to see this series end I cannot imagine any way to bring it a close any better than she did with Asa.

“With you, the only way to go is high risk, high reward.”

Sexy and a smooth talker, Asa is just what this southern belle needed to finish out the series!

Romantic Comedy

Goodreads:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21942398-sunshine-and-whiskey?from_search=true

S & W Book Cover front .jpg

Synopsis:

Sometimes the best things in life come from the unexpected. So if you lower your expectations, then you’ll never be disappointed. Sound cheesy? It is, but
it’s also true. Clichés come from a grain of truth…like a man with a Porsche is compensating for something, or once a cheater always a cheater—you get the
idea. Sorry, I digress. I’m supposed to be telling you what this book is about.

I’m Megan Walker, a lawyer at one of the hottest boutique law firms in Atlanta. I’m on the fast track to making partner and have my entire life planned
out…or I did.

We all know how that goes, right? Best laid plans and all that.

Life just threw me a couple curveballs, so I’ve set out to take things into my own hands. By throwing caution to the wind and getting out of my A-type
personality bubble, I’m learning more about myself than I have in my twenty-seven years.

Sound like a chick flick, doesn’t it?

It’s not.

Synopsis

*** Please note this book has been update with the proper edits ***

Both have a past they wish they could change, but now they can have a possible future together. As long as hidden secrets don’t keep them apart…

Review

Scarlett Collins had her life with her boyfriend of nine years, Jake Walker, planned. She was just waiting for the man she had loved since she was fifteen to make it official. Surprising him at work one day, Scarlett walks into his office and her worst nightmare. A child of infidelity and then divorce, Scarlett didn’t trust easily, and Jake shattered her trust and love for him that day.

”The life I knew is forever gone.”

Kyle Harrington, the dependable son of British immigrants, left his dreams of becoming a chef behind to return home to run to his family’s pub as his father is forced to slow down due to his failing health. Kyle works long hours with no help from his drama queen sister, Ella, or his absentee, bad boy brother, Clive. He’s exhausted, and he has no life outside of the pub, not that he’d have time to have a life anyway.

”…I needed to be a good son and be there for my family.”

Kyle and Scarlett have a serious meet-cute in the pub when Scarlett does what she always does – runs when things get overwhelming. She left before Kyle could get her number, but they meet-cute again through Kyle’s mom, who is a client of Scarlett’s at the salon she owns with her best friend, Amy. Their attraction is obvious, and when they meet for the third time, at Kyle’s pub when he comes to her rescue, they start to date.

”I didn’t really know what love was until I met you.”

I really enjoyed the build up between Kyle and Scarlett. This wasn’t insta-love, but it definitely was insta-attraction! After everything they have each been through in previous relationships, they were both the right combination of wary but excited. They both needed and deserved this happiness together, and it was so sweet and romantic watching this relationship grow. There was just enough angst to make their relationship something they had to think through and fight a little for which in turn made it a much more dynamic and dimensional one in the end.

This is Nicole De La Cruz’s debut novel, and she did a great job her first time out of the gate by giving her readers a well-written and nicely developed story and very likeable characters. The plot line kept me interested and turning the pages, and I loved Kyle and Scarlett’s sweet and steamy romance! I’m looking forward to more books in this series.

A solid 4 smooches for me!

Amazon Barnes & Noble iBooks Kobo IndieBound ** Other

About ASA:

Jay Crownover’s New York TimesandUSA TodaybestsellingMarked Menseries continues with the much anticipated story of southern charmer and certified criminal Asa Cross.

Starting over in Denver with a whole new circle of friends and family, Asa Cross struggles with being the man he knows everyone wants him to be and the man he knows he really is. A leopard doesn’t it change its spots and Asa has always been a predator. He doesn’t want to hurt those who love and rely on him, especially one luscious arresting cop who suddenly seems to be interested in him for far more than his penchant for breaking the law. But letting go of old habits is hard, and it’s easy to hit bottom when it’s the place you know best.

Royal Hastings is quickly learning what the bottom looks like after a tragic situation at work threatens not only her career but her partner’s life. As a woman who has only ever had a few real friends she’s trying to muddle through her confusion and devastation all alone. Except she can’t stop thinking about the sexy southern bartender she locked up. Crushing on Asa is the last thing she needs but his allure is too strong to resist. His long criminal record can only hurt her already shaky career and chasing after a guy who has no respect for the law or himself can only end in heartbreak.

A longtime criminal and a cop together just seems so wrong . . . but for Asa and Royal, being wrong together is the only right choice to make.

EXCERPT:

I pulled the Nova to a stop in front of a duplex that had clearly seen better days. It wasn’t a rusted-out trailer in Kentucky, but it might as well have been. I turned off the ignition and sat back in the seat so I could turn to look at Ayden. She was watching me carefully and I could see how frustrated she was with the entire conversation in the way her shoulders were tensed up and the way her hands had curled into tight balls on her lap. It was the way she used to look whenever I got into trouble and she had to do something desperate and drastic to get me out of it. I reached out a hand and put it on top of her fists.

“I died in that hospital, Ayd. There were no angels playing harps. There was no redemption and repentance. I died and it was very clear that I was going to get exactly the kind of fate I had been courting with all the messed-up shit I had been doing to other people. All I could see was every wrong I had ever committed and every bad decision I had ever made exploding all around me. For once I could see how all of that affected you. I was dying, and I knew what was waiting for me on the other side, yet I couldn’t go knowing that was all you were going to have to remember me by. I had to come back and give you something else to hold on to, some kind of good memory to go with the endless miles of bad I laid at your feet. I wanted to have the chance to show you I could be the kind of brother you deserved all along, so no, I didn’t save myself—you saved me. Just like you’ve always done for my entire life.”

I saw her bottom lip tremble until she snapped her teeth around it to keep it still. Her fists unclenched below my palm and she curled her shaking fingers around my hand and her already husky voice rasped with even more emotion when she told me what I think I had needed to hear from her all along.

“I have always been proud that you’re my brother, Asa. Yes, there have been times in the past I would have gladly fed you to the wolves, and it’s no secret that I had to leave home because I didn’t know what to do to help you anymore, but we both made it out alive and are better people for it. I know you’re sorry for the way things went down when we were younger, but I need you to open your eyes and take some credit for the way you have turned it around to make things the way they are now. I’ve long since come to terms with the Asa from my childhood. What I want to do is love the Asa that’s here with me now. You need to let go of those boulders weighted with all the bad things from past that are dragging you down before you get crushed under them.”

It was eerily similar to what Royal had been telling me the deeper and deeper I sank in with her. I don’t think I was ready to let any part of those stones go just yet, but a sexy redhead was slowly and surely eroding bits and pieces of the rock the more and more time I spent with her. By the time she was done, maybe she would be able to carve out something that was worthwhile, something that didn’t eviscerate me to look at.

I leaned over enough that I could kiss Ayden right on the center of her forehead between her midnight eyebrows and I felt her let out a shuddering sigh.

“I’m never going to let you down again, Ayd. That is the one and only thing in the entire world that I can promise and know it’s a promise I will keep.”

We stared at each other for a long and silent moment. The seriousness of the words I had said to her and the fact that I could see that she understood that I really, truly meant them finally worked to absolve me of some of the guilt that seemed to suffocate me whenever I thought about the things she had done to keep me safe.

“With you, the only way to go is high risk, high reward.”

Sexy and a smooth talker, Asa is just what this southern belle needed to finish out the series!
